U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell, R-Ky, released a statement saying he was discharged from the rehabilitation center after falling in June.

McConnell was admitted to the hospital on June 14 and he announced weeks later it was because he fell down.

He released the following statement:

“Earlier today, I was discharged from the rehabilitation center to continue my recovery at home. Elaine and I are grateful for the many well wishes and support from friends, colleagues, and Kentuckians, and for the attentive care I’ve received from excellent doctors, nurses, therapists, and hospital staff.

“On the advice of my doctors, I’ll maintain an intensive regimen of physical therapy from home during the state work period, and I’ll continue to engage with my staff and colleagues on important Senate business.”
